Got this little bowl of ramen tattooed while I was in Tokyo a couple of weeks ago. Picture taken immediately after session so it’s a little reddish but it has healed really nicely. 

I dig your Deku Scrub Ducky ^.
Awesome thread! Here are three tattoos I have done. One is a Charmander from Poke'mon, one a helmet from the Dark Souls videogame for PS3 and one is a Papou fruit from Kingdom Hearts. I actually look forward to doing more tattoos like these.

Holy City in Charleston hands down best shop.

If I were in your shoes I'd probably try to go see Adam Duncan at Honor & Glory in Inman...wherever that is.

Watch Jeff Cribb's interview here and tell me you don't wanna get tattooed by him: Jeff Cribb Tattoo Artist Interview Video

Also check out Anonymous Tattoo in Savannah, GA.

SouthCarolina is more sizable than it appears on a map. Are you closer to NC or
GA? If near Charleston I recommend Holy City, further north I suggest the above recommdatuons.

If your willing to travel to North Carolina there is Empire Tattoo and Hot Stuff Tattoo in Ashville, NC.

The only shop near Myrtle Beach that I would go to is Hero Tattoo, Myrtle Beach And Wilmington,NC has some good shops and it's about an hour away.

I can agree that Jason has talent and a nice shop but I can also vouch 100% for Dennis Hickman as one of the best people to go to in Charleston. Super solid tattooer and all around nice guy. He was taught by some of my best friends in Savannah. I would get something from him without thinking twice about it.

I'm up in Charlotte, there are a few pretty good shops around here depending on your style preferences. Rodney Raines is here if you prefer his kind of work.
For more traditional styles check out 510 Expert Tattoos - Ugly Tom and Jenn Small are really killing it there.

Hope you didn't get what I said wrong! Jason is able to put a good tattoo on anybody which is why I recommended his shop earlier in the thread. As is Dennis. They have different styles for the most part, but both of them are past competent. If I were the client I would make my decision based on the style of tattoo I'd want. More than one great tattooer in Chucktown!
@Riyko Columbia is closer to Charlotte but it isn't so far from Charleston that it's not worth serious consideration. On a personal level I only know of one or two shops in Charlotte I can recommend based on healed tattoos I've seen in person. Immortal Images would be worth considering if you go up that way.

Yes, definitely waaay too many tattoos. Living beings should never be marked by the ravages of time, their environment, circumstance or human intervention!
Won't somebody PLEASE think of The Children!

I've been making halloween costumes for family and friends along with cleaning the house and packing up everything that's moving to Chile with me, everything else will either be sold, donated or trashed!

I'm leaving my academic teaching gig to take a job as a scientific illustrator for an excavation in Brazil next year. I get to do art for a living for a little while, and I am so fucking stoked.
I'm also taking a printmaking class this semester, and it's the most fun I've had in any class, ever. Not sure why I love this really hard, really time-consuming process, but it turns out I think lithography is the shit.

Finishing up getting everything I need for my daughter's first birthday party on Saturday, even though her birthday is on Friday
